[olug] Override Default Route on a LinksysWRT54G?

[Kevin]

OK, from what I'm reading, the WRT's IP is set static. It also doesn't
hand out IPs, right?

If this is true, then I would disable routing on the WRT and turn it
into a bridge/switch. IIRC, a home router will block broadcasts that
DHCP relies on. If that's what your problem is.

If you can get to the BEFS wired router just fine, then I would alter
the WRT's default gateway to be 192.168.1.1; that's the next upstream
point for just about all webpages etc that it's going to need; you
shouldn't have any valid connections going the other way,
